Cue could play his cards at Plumpton

CUE CARD could bypass his entry at Ascot on Friday and instead bid to get back to winning ways at Plumpton on Monday.

After an impressive chasing debut at Chepstow, the five-year-old parted company with jockey Joe Tizzard at Cheltenham before going down by a short-head to Bobs Worth at Newbury.

He is engaged in the Grade Two totepool Novices’ Chase at Ascot but the lure of a potential bonus for winning at Plumpton and Cheltenham is tempting trainer Colin Tizzard to go there instead.
